Description The Riley is a 270mm wide rectangular wall light with an ivory faux silk shade mounted on an aged brass backplate. The shade is a three-sided box construction with open top and bottom, allowing light from a single E27 bulb to cast both upward and downward while the fabric diffuses forward-facing light into a soft ambient glow. Designed for hallways, bedrooms and living room accent positions, the Riley provides indirect wash lighting up the wall and down towards the floor rather than direct task light. The 128mm projection from the wall gives the shade enough depth to sit clear of the backplate and create visual interest in profile. The half-shade design works particularly well on narrow walls where a full pendant would overwhelm the space, or flanking artwork and mirrors where symmetrical pairs frame a central feature. The aged brass backplate has a satin finish with subtle tonal variation that suggests natural patina rather than polished metal. The ivory faux silk shade is stitched at the edges to hold its rectangular form and shows the fine vertical texture of the fabric weave when backlit. The combination of warm brass and neutral ivory pairs comfortably with both traditional woodwork and contemporary neutral interiors.

The fitting takes a single E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting in hallways and bedrooms. How far does it project from the wall? The shade projects 128mm from the wall when fitted. This allows the three-sided box shade to sit clear of the backplate and create upward and downward light spread. Can the shade be changed? Designer's Lightbox offers the Riley range with alternative shade colours and fabrics. Contact us to confirm availability of other shade options for this fitting. Is it suitable for bathrooms? The Riley carries no IP rating and the fabric shade is not moisture-resistant, so it is not suitable for bathroom zones where water contact or high humidity occurs. It works well in bedrooms, hallways and living rooms.
